I cannot, this being out of my area of expertise.  What I have thought for a
long time is that the field of evolution desperately needs computer models
or simulations.  We managed to get those working in the aerospace business
only within the last decade.  To simulate evolution would perhaps require
another order of magnitude more computing horsepower and sophistication, but
I think we can do it.  I would like to see feedback control theory applied
to evolutionary models.
